If it detects known cheating software or illegal file modifications then it will ban you randomly after the detection.

If you're banned from a game, do not play it on another account, EAC may recognize and ban you from the same title. Once you're banned, don't evade it, as it tends to catch up with the user. Don't even try to play the same game if you don't want to risk being re-banned. Do note that high active staff community/modded servers may recognize and report ban-evading users to the Dev which may also give a game ban.

It depends on the game and how the devs choose to handle that.

For example, Dead by Daylight will ban you again as they use HW ID.

Let's keep things simple. Using an alt account to circumvent a ban is often a banable offense in many games. So yes, you most likely will continue to get banned if you continue to cheat and attempt to circumvent punishment with alt accounts.

As a side note you also run the very good risk of having your account hijacked if you continue to use scam websites like the one you are advertising in your profile name.

Depends on the game, a good amount protected by EAC do HWID bans.
Else, as said, if you have anything on the PC that's running used for cheating or have modified files of protected files, a ban is guaranteed with a randomized delay.

So again, just don't play the game anymore if you don't want to risk a ban for ban evasion which is a thing for most Devs.

Also another thing.
Those 3rd party "Trading", "skin", "gambling" sites are well known to steal from peoples inventories over time. Also if your account isn't protected with 2FA, they will log into games you're not banned from, the hijacker will cheat on it, then you'll get more game bans.

-Remove the scam-site name from your username
-Revoke the API Key; there should be NO ENTRIES here; https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey
-Remove authorized devices
-Change your password.

You logging into your Steam account is fine but opening the game on the banned account will link the HWID to the new one.
